Any time we drive to the Ikea in Cinci from KY, we'll get hot wings on the way home.
- mod 4y agoWhat makes the wings so good? (My business is known for its chicken wings as well, just comparing notes!)
- mauvehaus 4y agoI would submit that they actually aren't that good on an absolute scale. Relative to other widely available chain wings, perhaps, and I suspect that's why they have such a strong following. Mind you, I haven't had them in years and now live almost 7 hours from the nearest Quaker Steak and Lube. My recollection may be flawed.
- mod 4y agoFair. I'm not a fan of any of the chain wings. Our recipe is simple: decent sized wings, deep fried naked, sauced and served. Good sauces matter, of course. Given how easy that is, it's amazing to me that almost nobody else has good wings (at least around here). I'm not sure what they're doing differently.
- mauvehaus 4y agoHow do you have room for wings after eating the meatballs at IKEA?
- philiplu 4y agoHuh, I never knew Quaker Steak & Lube had spread that far. I lived in Sharon, PA for most of the 80s, and worked a couple blocks from the original restaurant. Decent wings, if a bit too focused on heat level ("atomic wings"). Nice lunch joint - of course, the pickings were pretty thin in Sharon.
